Hey,

well I am a lyric writer / peot, i have been writing for around 12 years (although when I was 12 they were not very good lol!) But I have always been depressed when I write, when I am at my most nasiest and depressed stage I write my best stuff, My work is always praised, but....I cannot write If i am not depressed, the only time I get complaints or negative comments to my work (other than about my grammar...) is when I write when I am happy or being silly....

so what do you do when depression is the driving force behind your creativity? but you find yourself getting less and less depressed? I am trying to write now and nothing flows, ive tried inspirational music, freestyling, nothing is working :'(
